Twelve Inserts Cost Tili? Country
$350,000,000 Annually.
Twelve insects wil! cost thc United :
States $350,000,000 thia year. The
cineU bug will draw $100,000,000 of
this large amount, the grasshopper
will toke ?00,000,000 and the Hessian
fly will call for at least $50,000,000
more. Three worms that attack thc
cotton plant will assess tho farmers for
a total of $05,000,000, and the potato
bug will cat $8,000,000 worth of its
favorite kind of garden produce. Ten
millions of dollars is a moderate esti
mate of thc injury thc will he done
by the apple worm, and the caterpillar
that makes cabbages its specialty will
destroy $5,000,000 worth of crisp green
heads.
The estimate, which is conservative
and u.ider the mark, is as follows :
Cinch bug.$100,000,000
Grasshopper. 00.000.000
Hessian Hy. 50,000,000
Potato bug. 8,000,000

How absurb it seems that this gov
ernment, with an army of 05,000 meu,
254 warships and more money in its
treasury than any nation has ever be
fore possessed, should bc helpless in
a fight against twelve objectionable
bugs !
Yet such is tho fact. The individ
ual bug is small, but its "stronghold"
is its tremendous power of reproduc
tion. What is to be done in conflict
with an adversary which is capable of
having a billion descendants in a sum
mer ? In conflict with such an enemy
Uncle Sam finds himself in much the
same situation as that of Gulliver
when he discovered that ho was at tho
mercy of tho Lilliputians.
Thc Cinch bug is a disgusting little
beast, only a third of an inch long.
Originally it fed upon wild grass, but
when civilized man arrived and plant
ed wheat the cereal suited its taste ex
actly and it soon became what it is to
day, the worst foe of the moat prized
of bread-producing crops. Itgets into
tho funnel-shaped part of the leaf,
where it joins the"s Ik, and sucks tho
sap until the plant dies. The bugs,
multiplying at a rate almost inconceiv
able, attack a wheat field in armies
whioh literally carpet tho ground, and
when the wheat has been harvested
thoy fly to the autumnal oom.
Everybody knows tho grasshopper,
which in the East is a familiar, but
harmless insect. In parts of the West,
however, it is a serious menace to ag
riculture, ?nd in a "bad year" will eas
ily do more than $100,000,000 worth of
damage. V, is the true locust, cele
brated in Biblical and other history,
and in the United States ranks aB the
worst enemy of man, barring only the
oinoh bug. lt is a foe most dreaded
by the farmers over extensive areas.
Droughts they may combat by irriga
tion ; from tornadoes they may take
refuge in suitably constructed cellars,
kat before the march of tho devasta
ting swarms of grasshop^.s they are
helpless. The plague arrives and lo 1

lu the-year 1770, when the Heesian
troops, engaged by the British us
auxiliaries, lauded ou Long Island,
they brought a lot ol' straw with them
for their horses, and in it almost un
doubtedly were eggs of tho insect
which lias since become known in this
country as the Hessian fly. Three
years later tbe pest began to make it
self troublesome in thc neighborhood
of the landing place, and since then
it has gradually spread westward.
Barring thc cinch bug, it is tho worst
enemy of thc wheat, making its first
appearance as a tiny maggot at the base
of the young plant and sucking thc
juices of the latter. Eventually the
plant is weakened and destroyed, and
thc maggot is transformed into a fra
gile, dark-colored gnat, closely resem
bling a small mosquito-the destined
parent of maggots yet to bo.
Tho army worm, which is one of the
most dreaded of thc insect foes of thc
farmer, is a naked-striped caterpillar,
an inch and a quarter long. In May
and June it makes its appearance in
immense numbers, devouring wheat,
oats and other grains and grasses. It
climbs up thc seed stalk and cuts oil
the heads. With a favorable succes
sion of seasons it multiplies in geo
metrical ratio, and at last becomes so
numerous as to necessitate migration
in search of food. Then the army
worms travel and feed during both day
and night, inflicting enormous damage.
It is from their mode of marching in
armies at such times that their popu
lar name is derived. The parent of
thc worm is a brown moth.
Tho potato bug seems to have been
originally native to Colorado and Now
Mexico- Various wild plants furnish
ed it with food, but nothing seems to
have been so exaotly suited to its re
quirements as tho potato. With the
introduction of tho potato by settlers
came thc opportunity of this objec
tionable insect to multiply ad infini
tum. It began to march eastward and
northward ; at first slowly, depending
upon its own power of flight, but later
in great big jumps, assisted by thc
railroads, on which it took passage.
It made trips of hundreds of miles by
river, floating on chips or voyaging by
boat. Its spread was startling, and at
the present time its territory compri
ses nearly all of the United States.
AU efforts to diminish its numbers
have been in vain, and $8,000,000 is a
moderate estimate of tho damage it
does annually.
In 18G8 a Froriob naturalist named
Trouvalot, residing at Madford, near
Boston, was making experiments with
various kinds of silk-spinning insects
other than the common silk worm. He
had imported the eggs from France,
and with them, by some accident, had
come a few eggs of the Gypsy moth,
already well-known as a destructive in
sect in Europe. These eggs were in a
pasteboard box on a window ledge and
were blown away. As a result the
State of Massachusetts has been ob
liged to spend more than half a mill
ion dollars since thea in trying to ex
terminate the bug, whioh has threat
ened to eat every green thing off the
earth in tho region over whioh it has
spread, comprising some fifty square
miles. It is a ravenous dofoliator of
fruit and shade trees, and if it should
extend its operations over a large part
of the country it might easily do mil
lions of dollars worth of injury year
ly. The brute is a dark gray caterpil
lar, two and a half inches long, and its
parent is a moth of yellowish hue with
blaok bands on its wings.
The San I Jose socle gets its name
from the faot that it first appeared in
the San Jose valley, California, hav
ing been imported probably from Aus
tralia or Hawaii. It is the worst of
all enemies of fruit trees. Almost
mioroscopio in size, it will spread
through an orohard in half dozen years
and in place of?green leaves and blos
soms, leaves nothing but dead trunk?
and bran ches. A fruit-raising district
attacked by it is destroyed as effectu
ally as if overrun by afire. These in
sects, millions of them together, suok
tho sap of tho tree, each one of them
covered with a waxy scale, whioh forms
a sort of grayish sourf on thc bark,
Inasmuch as a single female may have
as many as 3,216,000 descendants in o
single season, it is easily understood
why the pest spreads so dangerously
fast. Recently tho department of ag

to fight it is one of growing eoonomii
importance. It was imported original

Tobacco Acreage will he Extended.
"The increase in the receipts of the
privilege tax on fertilizers is due to
the marked increase in thc acreage
planted in tobacco," said Judge J. F.
Lyon yesterday. As the keeper of
these records in the State Treasurer's
office Judge Lyon has been making
somo investigations, and he reports
that to be the result.
Thc planting of tobacco requires a
high state ef cultivation.
"The receipts to date on tho sales
of fertilizers aro $84,918.30-more
than for thc whole of last year when
the tag tax amounted to $81,744.94.
The receipts up to March 19 last year
were ?01,003.05, or twenty thousand
dollars short of the year's receipts. I
think wo may say that there is yet a
lot of privilege tax to be paid in,
judging by the way rcoeipts came in
last year. If such be the case, thc
tax this year will run close to ?100,
000. The receipts in former yean
have come in until late in April. Thc
bulk of the year's business is over bj
the first of May."
To each sack of fertilizer sold with'
in the State must bo a tag indicating
that tho State has been pa\d a tax ol
25 cents on every ton of that f?rtil
izer. Tho tag tax or privilege tai
never has exceeded the receipts of last
year.
A farmer from tho low country wh<
was here yesterday said that tho cul
tivation of tobacco is being tried as ai
experiment in some of the counties ii
the State which have ranked foremos
in the production of other farm crops
but have never taken to the new crop
Marlboro and Orangeburg, the tw
best known agricultural counties, wi!
experiment extensively. Adjoining
counties have found tobacoo very prof
itable, but these counties preferred t
raise ootton.
Orangeburg is known to be the coun
ty with the largest number of indc
pendent farmers of ali the counties i
the United States, and Marlboro'
planters have wrought from the soi
of that county orops whioh have gon

In Bushland, Colleton and othc
oounties the experiment is being mad<
and it may be that a new era is ahea
for these counties. The attraction i
raising tobaoco seems to be that it i
a "money crop." LaBt fall the co
umns of The State reoorded man
items of gratifying information froi
the tobacco-raising counties. Whii

v . H ? a "ii . i-*^?. . i*?<,* * ?aid Dr, Wi H.
Goold, of llcuo, "tho woods wore full
of wild animals, and as a consequence
of their boldness and the peculiar and
now factors the oil business had intro
duced into the region, odd happen
ings in which those animals and
wclldriller8, teamsters and others em
ployed in oil production were concern
ed, were frequent. %
"I was one of the first seekers after
riches that went up along Cherry Tree
Ruo, in Venango county, to put down
oil wells. Trout fishing was excellent
in those mountains streams then. I
was an enthusiastic trout fisherman,
and one day in June, early in the days
of the rush to Oil Creek valley, I went
very near to the headwaters of one of
the small brooks that emptied into
Cherry Tree Run to enjoy a day's fish
ing.
" It was nearly dark when I got
down to the mouth of the brook, load
ed down with trout, and about tired
out. I had three miles to travel yet
to get to my shanty and I resolved to
camp for the night on the banks of the
run. I ate a hearty supper of trout,
built a rousing camp fire and lay down
by the side of it and went to sleep.
"Some time in the night I woke
suddenly and wide. The camp fire
was still burning brightly, and threw a
broad pathway of light out upon and
across the run. As I lay there won
dering what had awakened me I saw a
big dark object moving forward in the
stream plainly visible in the streak of
light and swimming, directly toward
where t lay.
"It was a spooky sort of sensation
and I lay still, scarcely daring to move
with my eyes fixed on the approaching
object, which swam deliberately
across the creek. As it crawled out
of the waiter and up on the shore I saw
what it was. It was a big black boar.
"The tyear paused a moment after
landing, and then slouched right on
toward tko camp fire, prompted by
genuine bear curiosity. The fire was
not more than 25 feet from tho creek.
"The discovery of the identity of
the mysterious objeot and the rapid
advance of the bear toward me broke
the spell under which I had lain. I
sprang to my feet, grabbed a blazing
stick from the fire, and hurled it at
the approaching animal, which was
then almost within an arm's length of
me. The brand struck the bear.
Then like a flash of gunpowder the
poor beast burst into flames from
snout to tail.
"With a howl that filled the woods
with frightful echo CB and me with ter
ror, the blazing bear turned and fled
to the creek, and plunged into the wa
ter. If he had expeoted to find grate
ful help there he was wofully mista
ken, for in an instant the oreek from
bank to bank, and far above and be
low where I stood, a horrified and
dumfounded speetator of the weird
scene, beoame a line of leaping fire,
lighting up the gloom of the forest for
rods on either side.
'/There came from that roaring flood
of flame one long, unearthly wail o'
agony. . For a second I saw the bias
ing form of the wretched bear writhe
in torture in the burning ?reek. Then
I saw and heard him no more.
"I never stopped tunning until I
arrived at my shanty, my way being
lighted by the blaze on the oreek. At
the shanty I learned that an oil tank
had sprung a bad leak that evening
and before it could be stopped severa!
hundred barrels of oil had run into
the oreek and floated down on the sur
